After becoming an octopus

The next day, Zhang Zexi chose to get up early and went to the barnacle mountain to help clean up the barnacles.

Cleaning up the barnacle mountain is a big project, and there is no way to finish it in a short time. He only clears a small area every day.

The sponge group has already started to clean up, and there is a possibility of recurrence if it is stopped halfway, so he decided to get rid of the sponge group first, and then proceed to clean up the barnacle mountain.

Zhang Zexi dug a pile of barnacles and seaweed, temporarily pushed it on the barnacle mountain, threw the child here, and followed Xiao Hei to the sponge group to dig energy stones.

Zhang Zexi was too busy to care about the little octopus, and the little octopus was also very happy staying on the barnacle mountain, playing different games every day.

So, when Zhang Zexi came back at night, what he saw was a group of happy little octopuses playing and fighting. As a father, Zhang Zexi always felt that something was wrong. Why didn't his son depend on him anymore?They are so happy when they are not at home!Zhang Zexi felt that she was not very happy.

The viciousness of the little octopuses has been stimulated and accumulated during this period of time. Sometimes when they are having fun, several octopuses will huddle together.

Although Zhang Zexi was a little disappointed, she still stepped forward to separate the little octopus, "Okay, stop beating, time is up, it's time to eat."

The little octopus has been so energetic recently that he has been pumped with chicken blood. He plans to take the cubs out to hunt again after the matter of the sponge group is over, so as to relax and relax.

Zhang Zexi fed the little octopus, and helped the sea beast clean up the barnacles again.

This kind of day was repeated for five or six days, and the matter in the sponge group was finally resolved. Zhang Zexi harvested a lot of sponges, and he put these things at the foot of the barnacle mountain. This place is the closest to the barnacle mountain, and there are sea beasts. Take care and don't worry about being stolen.

A small piece of the barnacle mountain had been cleared. In order to clean up the mountain, Zhang Zexi dug out barnacles and seaweed, no matter how big or small.

After the barnacles and seaweeds were dug up, the energy contained in them became less and less day by day, which made Zhang Zexi a little distressed, what a waste!

Another thing to be thankful for is that both the planted diamond-shaped seaweed and the barnacles raised on the travertine have survived.

But even if they survived, it would be useless. Barnacles and seaweeds have no energy, so what is the difference between them and other foods?

There must be something wrong somewhere.

Is it a soil problem?

After Zhang Zexi cleaned up a piece of barnacles and seaweeds that day, he couldn't help becoming interested in the soil underneath. What is the difference in the growth environment here, and why can the barnacles and seaweeds gain so much energy?

His tentacles hold a barnacle, and the suction cup on the tentacles fixes the barnacle. When he pulls it up hard, the barnacle falls off easily.

As his body size grew, his strength also gradually increased. Pulling out barnacles was already a simple matter, but the number of barnacles was a bit large, and it was more troublesome to clean up.

Holes were left where the barnacles were pulled out. Zhang Zexi didn't pay attention to these holes at all at first, but when he looked back, the holes left at the beginning had disappeared, leaving only round ones. Traces, which are obviously the marks left by the barnacles for too long.

Some holes that were not completely closed have also shrunk, and it is estimated that they will be fully healed in a short time.

Is it possible that these soils have the ability to heal themselves?Zhang Zexi had a thought in his heart, could he discuss with the sea beast, dig some soil and go back to grow seaweed later?

Could this dirt be some kind of treasure?He touched it curiously, and touched it again. The texture was a bit strange, except for the sand floating on the surface, the texture inside was a little slippery and elastic.

Just when he was about to explore further, the color of the rock suddenly changed, and a little orange appeared under the gray-blue soil, which was actually very similar to his own skin color.

Zhang Zexi sighed in his heart: It's really fate, the color of the mountain is actually the same as her own.

It's just that he didn't think so in the next second. The barnacle mountain below seemed to tremble. Zhang Zexi was worried that the earthquake would recede a little farther. It was the short distance that he retreated that widened his field of vision. He could almost see it. Take most of the mountain into your eyes.

The orange color continued to spread upward along the area where he had just cleaned the barnacles, until the entire mountain was revealed to be orange.

"What's going on here?" Zhang Zexi seemed to be fixed in place by a nail, completely stunned.

The sudden change of the mountain, could it be a volcanic eruption?Not like it!

Just as he was dazed, a pair of huge eyes in the mountain opened, which startled Zhang Zexi.

This... what is this thing!Zhang Zexi's mind is in a mess, should he run away immediately?

What the hell is going on with the inexplicable claws?

Can't go, he has to take the little octopus with him!

How do you bring so many children?

Zhang Zexi discovered once again that having more children is not a good thing.

His attention returned to Barnacle Hill.

This body shape, this color, this familiar shape, where is this mountain?This is simply a large octopus hiding in the background!

The big octopus was lying on the ground with its tentacles coiled under its head, and its body was piled up like a hill. Coupled with the octopus's perfect invisibility ability, Zhang Zexi didn't see that the barnacle mountain was actually a living thing for so long.

And the place he cleaned up just now was just an octopus claw of the other party.

Octopuses seem to treat their own kind as food, and their size is probably not enough to fit between their teeth!His own cub was so small that he could slip through his teeth.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Zexi's mind in an instant. After these thoughts passed by, he was horrified to find that after thinking so much, there was not a single useful solution!

Just when Zhang Zexi was extremely flustered, a consciousness transmission broke the deadlock.

"Don't mess around." The sea beast's familiar consciousness conveyed some complicated emotions, and there was only a short sentence left behind after such a big commotion.

Zhang Zexi was taken aback for a moment, but before he could figure out the reason, the color of the barnacle mountain returned to gray-blue.

After Zhang Zexi calmed down, the initial fear dissipated a lot.

Looking at the little octopus again, the little octopus was much calmer than herself, Zhang Zexi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and was so frightened that she couldn't walk.

The body of the barnacle mountain is the sea beast stationed here, so the plan of digging and planting will not work.

Fortunately, everything was just a false alarm, Zhang Zexi wiped off the sweat that didn't exist, and felt a little embarrassed when he thought of touching the sea beast just now.

The sea beast must have felt offended before it sounded a reminder.

Zhang Zexi was even more embarrassed, and decided to stop today's cleanup operation. He collected the packed barnacles and seaweed, and transported them back to his nest for stacking.

Zhang Zexi will not take the little octopus with her wherever she goes now, it is safer to put the little octopus on the barnacle mountain than by her side, and she can spare some time to do other things.

There are too many barnacles and seaweeds to eat. Before finding a way to restore the energy of barnacles and seaweeds, Zhang Zexi will give some to the neighbors around while the energy is not scattered.

But this was still too much, so Zhang Zexi ran back to the barnacle mountain and asked if the sea beast wanted to eat it.

The sea beast responded lightly: "There is a shell."

Has a shell?

What does it mean?

Does it mean not to eat the shell?Zhang Zexi was a little worried that she had misinterpreted the meaning of the other party, so she had to think carefully.

In terms of shells, the crystal shrimps last time also had shells, but the sea beasts still ate them all.

He doesn't eat the shells. Does the sea beast let him catch the ones without the shells?

Aren't barnacles shellless without their shells?

At this moment, Zhang Zexi seemed to understand the mystery hidden in the other party's words!

"I understand!" Zhang Zexi left Barnacle Mountain after leaving a sentence.

Sea Beast: "..."

Zhang Zexi quickly went back, using the convenience of her eight claws, quickly knocked on the barnacles, then dug out the meat inside with a knife, and put them in a container woven from seaweed.

Zhang Zexi's speed of being single for 18 years is not a cover. After dismantling it and getting a lot of barnacles in a few minutes, taking advantage of the freshness of the barnacles just after prying them off, he immediately sent them to the one in the barnacle mountain. cave.

Now he knew that it was not a cave. It was probably the gap left between the overlapping claws of the octopus. Maybe the mouth was the closest to this position, and every time the food placed here would be eaten.

Zhang Zexi left after putting down her things, and when she came back to pack her things after a while, the barnacle meat was gone.

Zhang Zexi guessed right, as long as there is no shell, the sea beast will still eat it.

However, Zhang Zexi doesn't think it's lazy for sea beasts to eat and ask someone to shell them for them. He guesses at most that the other party is inconvenient to move or is trying to maintain a strong personality.

Zhang Zexi went back to the nest and planted seaweed in the pit dug by Xiao Hei.

One always swam over with a somewhat wretched figure.

"Aren't you going to accompany my little lover today?" Zhang Zexi glanced lightly at the visitor. This wretched figure was the blue tile living in the coral group.

"I heard that you've been giving barnacles to nearby fish and crabs recently." Lanwa felt depressed because he didn't get any gifts.

"You change your nest every day, and you have to search for a long time to deliver something to you. I'm full?" Zhang Zexi doesn't have much in his hands now, except that he has the most barnacles that can't be eaten.

Lanwa asked him why he gave away the barnacles suddenly and generously, only to learn that Zhang Zexi had dug so many barnacles and seaweed all at once because of cleaning up the barnacle mountain.

Knowing that Zhang Zexi planned to replant seaweed and barnacles outside the barnacle mountain, Lan Wa couldn't help but laugh out loud, and was stared back by Zhang Zexi.

Lanwa was a little timid, "Actually, if you want to make the things you grow or raise rich in energy, it's not impossible. The main reason is that your materials are wrong."

"What materials?" Although Zhang Zexi was still a little hesitant about Lanwa attacking their lair, he was still convinced of his professional ability.

"Of course it's a power stone. If you don't have energy, of course you have to replenish energy."

"Barnacles and seaweed can regain energy just by adding energy stones to farming and planting?"

"Of course, this kind of captive breeding is very common on the upper seabed. Some differentiated organisms will use energy stones to raise some rare things, let them grow quickly, and benefit from it."

After listening to the analysis, Zhang Zexi decided to give it a try.

Lan Wa turned his sneaky eyes to stare at the barnacles beside Zhang Zexi, which meant self-evidently, I helped you solve the problem, why didn't you pay me.

Now that he knew how to maintain the energy in the barnacles and seaweeds, Zhang Zexi was really reluctant to give the barnacles to Lanwa.However, he is not a real iron rooster, and he still allows Lanwa to take away some barnacles.
